Title: CBOR Web Token (CWT) Authors: M. Jones; Erik Wahlstroem; Samuel Erdtman; Hannes Tschofenig Venue: Year: 2018 Canonical: doi:10.17487/rfc8392 URL: https://doi.org/10.17487/rfc8392 Collector: openalex OA: false ABSTRACT CBOR Web Token (CWT) is a compact means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The claims in a CWT are encoded in the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), and CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) is used for added application-layer security protection. A claim is a piece of information asserted about a subject and is represented as a name/value pair consisting of a claim name and a claim value. CWT is derived from JSON Web Token (JWT) but uses CBOR rather than JSON.
